This was all an excuse, I think. I was doing fine. I had a 93 average and I was holding my head above water. I had good friends and a loving family. And because I needed to be the center of attention, because I needed something more, I ended up here, wallowing in myself, trying to convince everybody around me that I have some kind of. . . disease. I dont have any disease. I keep pacing. Depression isnt a disease. Its a pretext for being a prima donna. Everybody knows that. My friends know it; my principal knows it. The sweating has started again. I can feel the Cycling roaring up in my brain. I havent done anything right. What have I done, made a bunch of little pictures? That doesnt count as anything. Im finished. My principal just called me and I hung up on him and didnt call back. Im finished. Im expelled. Im finished.
